OBITUARY FOR LULU ADELE KELLOGG
(Taken from Bedford Ohio local paper)
On Sunday, July 16, death came to relieve the suffering of Lulu Adele Kellogg, who had been in failing health for over a year.
Miss Kellogg, who was born fifty four years ago on Center Road, Bedford, Ohio, and who spent nearly the whole of that time there, was known as a woman of rare courage, optimism and devotion. She met life with a smile and a laugh that seemed at times not far from tears, so close beside her walked the tragedy of family troubles. Her father's illness of seven years kept her closely at home and ill health of her brother and sister was a constant anxiety to her. In spite of those troubles she met the world bravely and happily, extracting from the happiness of others and losing her personal sorrow in lives of her friends.
She bore uncomplainingly the deafness which shut her out like a wall from the pleasure she might have found in her intercourse with the world. It was never a matter of dollars and cents between her and those for whom she worked. Their needs, their pleasure came first in her mind and if she satisfied them she was content, no matter how heavily she had drawn on her strength to accomplish the result.
The funeral was held at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ida Morgan, in Cleveland, Ohio on Wednesday afternoon, the body being brought to Bedford for burial. Many old friends of Miss Kellogg gathered at her grave and paid last tribute of respect and affection to one whose life of Christian patience and self sacrifice.
